It's early season. Ranking are currently meaningless. It depends if you rode south or not. . Look at how deep down are guys like FaircloughSo why do you think that our top guy is in 39th?.

Simon's holding him back.......nice job SAnjay, bummer Lars is 78 he trains so much too...
awesome!
pretty crazy that he's the top american, yet doesn't appear to have full on factory support like duncon riffle. what's the deal???
Valpo was invite only.So what is kind of permission was needed to race the Valpo Urban race? It sounds like it would be different than the Pan-Am DH race.
So is it safe to say that a vast majority of UCI DH races (non World-Cup) you need to go through your national federation to go (eligibility, registration, etc.)?Valpo was invite only.
Nope. World Cups you have to be on a trade team or go through the federation (as wel las have 20 points now). 99% of other races are wide open. Valpo is a special case, as are a few other events that offer points.So is it safe to say that a vast majority of UCI DH races (non World-Cup) you need to go through your national federation to go (eligibility, registration, etc.)?
yep as in you have to send me results or pics so that i can explain that im knocking one local off the start list in favor or a foreigner, but thats about the compliation of it.Valpo was invite only.
Man that coca does wonders
¿cómo dice la concesión del darwin?hey you should come down here pull some of those blind flying stunts, ill be awarding UCI points for that kind of stuff next year
If you think Sanjay has an ego, you have obviously never met the guy.Sanjay on the other hand, with some work ethic, ego adjustment and support could be killing it. He's got the third nut that gets you on the podium.
Steve Peat^ ha ya, and he thinks Duncan Riffle is like Pascal????
WTF, do you follow racing much?
Kinda like Peaty reminds me of Filip Polc
Maybe he needs MORE of an ego?If you think Sanjay has an ego, you have obviously never met the guy.
haha, sounds like the malaysian cycling federation, just with out the corruption. and they would have probably given the green light after the race is over.no, wait, if you think that is funny then hear this
sanjay was staying at my place after the valpo urban race, where he finished 4th, riffle finished 12th and the defending pan am dh champ finished 5th.
so, sanjay was trying (him, amelia and CVD) to get permission from the US cycling federation to race in the pan am dh championships (continental UCI championship, like the oceanias or the euro championship) but they didnt at first let him (or any of the others) race because the USofA only had 10 slots, and there hadnt been an official selection process. and according to them, somebody might complain that they were unable to race because these riders that already were in south america racing and training, were allowed to race.
now, this is the 10th time that race goes on and before this year no US DH riders had EVER entered, sanjay had just beaten the US national champion pretty comprehensively, and also beaten the reigning pan am champion, plus they wouldnt have to pay a dime to get him to race.......
i think he was already on his way to argentina when he got the word that they were letting them race anyway, but man, the amount of BS they had to go through to just race, unsupported, was just insane.
so even if you are a national rider for a country you still need 20points? what about the worlds?Transcend said:Nope.

I think '08 will see a shakeup in overall UCI ranking points. We have the prize money at local races here to have E2 events nearly every weekend, the problem is no-one ever really realised it was important.
woah... kick ass!!! Good work Sanjay!http://www.uci.ch/ucinet/uci.asp?page=rankings&discipline=mtb&ryear=2007&ridercategory=me&l=eng

Wow Abe, where have you been the last couple years? How's it going? You still in the Bay Area?woah... kick ass!!! Good work Sanjay!
Where did this post go? biker3, yeah I know that factory support and better work ethic could definitely help, but I'm not sure why you think my ego needs adjustment. Do I need a bigger ego? I would've thought that my ego was one of the smaller ones...Transcend said:If you think Sanjay has an ego, you have obviously never met the guy.Originally Posted by biker3

I decided to stop racing around when Kurt broke himself and kinda ODed on RM, which I guess resulted in a total disappearance.Wow Abe, where have you been the last couple years? How's it going? You still in the Bay Area?
